Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Device Technology
  • Surgical Navigation Systems

Background:

  • Accurate surgical tool insertion depth is critical in orthopedic procedures.
  • Existing laser guidance systems offer 4-DOF but lack precise depth information.
  • A need exists for intraoperative guidance on surgical tool depth without requiring tracking markers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a 5-DOF laser guidance system for surgical tool insertion.
  • To provide surgeons with accurate depth guidance during orthopedic procedures.
  • To overcome the limitations of 4-DOF systems by incorporating depth information.

Main Methods:

  • A novel 5-DOF guidance method using laser projection directly onto the surgical area.
  • Integration of position, orientation, and depth guidance via laser beams.
  • A calculation method to correct for tool radius errors in depth point projection.

Main Results:

  • Depth guidance error of 0.55±0.29 mm was achieved.
  • Overall system accuracy in phantom insertions: 1.44 ± 1.09 mm and 0.91° ± 0.82°.
  • System accuracy under X-ray conditions: 1.94 ± 0.98 mm and 1.39° ± 1.30°.

Conclusions:

  • A new fluorolaser guidance system effectively provides surgical tool depth information.
  • The system successfully guides surgeons on tool tip depth, assuming correct entry point and orientation.
  • In vitro testing demonstrated the feasibility and accuracy of the developed method.
